Question

A different car seats. One car seat designed for a child up to and including 34lb. Another car seat designed for a child between 16 lb and 40lb. A third car seat is designed a child between 34lb and 90 lb, inclusive. Model those ranges with compound inequalities . Which car seats are appropriate for a 33lb child? The inequality for a child up to and including 34 lb is what?

Answer 1

Answer:

the first and second car seats are appropriate for a 33 lb. child. The first seat suits children up to 34 lb. The second seat suits children that weight between 16 to 40 lb.

The only seat that is not appropriate would be the third one that is too large, since children between 34 to 90 lb. should use it.

seat 1 ≤ 34 lb ⇒ simple inequality

16 lb < seat 2 and seat 2 < 40 lb ⇒ compound inequality

34 lb < seat 3 and seat 3 ≤ 90 lb ⇒ compound inequality
